I haven't read the update yet so idk what's going on, but all your guys' angry comments are cracking me up
Has this really not been updated since 2015? I just started reading it and it's god tier shit. I almost don't wanna continue reading because once I'm caught up I'm gonna be left in despair lol.
Jupp the author is on a very long hiatus and it will likely never continue
WAIT WHATTHEFUCKKK???? FOR REAAALS??
Yep sadly, he had a burn out while drawing, but he is currently working on other things
I kinda rushed reading it bc it's sooo good and i thought it was completed/ongoing, and planned on rereading it while waiting for updates but aaaaaaaa. For reals tho, the quality of each panel, ooof
There is so much wrong with this manga. First of all, neither of the two mc's look their age. The girl is supposedly 12 but looks 8, and the guy is supposedly 18 but looks like a 40 year old meth head. This makes the kissing scenes appear extremely disturbing and cringe worthy. I feel like if the characters actually looked their ages, the manga would appear less creepy and pedophilic. I get that this type of age gap relationship wasn't seen as taboo back then, but nowadays we know it's morally wrong hence the law changes that have been made. With that being said, I feel like what this manga is attempting to do is portray a pedophilic relationship in a positive light under the guise of "history". I say this because there are multiple instances where the dialogue creepily puts emphasis on the fact that the female mc is incredibly young. It's like the mangaka keeps reminding us that this is a little girl in a relationship with a grown man, but we're supposed to view it as completely normal because of the convenient time era. It makes me question for what purpose this manga was even written. If this manga was written for educational/historical purposes, it's lacking detail and does a piss poor job of teaching the audience anything. It hasn't given us any background on the two mc's. The manga hasn't shown how the two met or given any information about the arranged marriage process. It hasn't explained Bunji's military ranking or his involvement. It hasn't explored much of what Japanese culture or society was like during the time era. There are plenty of intriguing things about the time era that could be included in the manga but aren't. The manga is just completely lackluster as a result. This is all just my opinion so go ahead and dislike if you want idgaf. And before someone says "tHeN sToP rEaDinG iT!", don't worry. I don't plan on reading any more of this trash.
people saying this isn't pedophilic believe that only if an adult rapes a child then it's pedophilia...
guys there's several stages to it, not because the guy "hasn't done anything to her yet" doesn't mean that this isn't a dangerous situation for the girl
this is clearly trying to make an adult/child "relationship" seem normal and cute and THAT is what we all are critizising
and this wasn't written centuries ago, it was written in the recent years, so you can't separate the work and the discouse it contains from it's cultural and historical context which is TODAY
if the goal was to portray life in that era, then there most likely wouldn't be anything cute about it, because romantic love is a modern invention and that kind of relationship back then was very different
also what's the point in saying 'if don' t like it then don't read' like, literature and literary and artistic/visual creations are VERY important and influential to reality and society, and we understand that, so if we find anything harmful or contrary to what's best for minors or other groups, then we can and we will criticize it
Very well said. You've stated nothing but facts.

You said you don't know the purpose of the manga is, I honestly think that the Mangaka's reason for doing this is because in Japan, there are a lot of people, adult men especially, who has this kind of fetish. Young girls pairing with an adult. It's also why idols who are very very young are popular in Japan among adult men. This manga is most likely aimed to that audience. This topic doesn't spark that much controversy in there as much as internationally especially since in this case, its in manga form which is fictional. But yeah, it is pedophilia. It's in fiction, but it still is pedophilia.
okay so here's the question: Why does the author try so much to stuff it with historical, cultural concepts when they could've just made a loli hentai then? Are japanese pedophile men interested to see the circumstances of Japan from around 100 years ago? there are other characters and they're actually active, not simply put there as background filler.
Well let's be real here, Its not aimed for an international audience. If u do not understand why a Japanese author writes about Japanese historical fiction it's not for them to justify. Secondly this story might just be there to show that the relationships that occurred in the time were not all shitfaced with creepy men. I in no way condone such a young girl in s relationship before anyone says i suPpOrT PeDos or whatever. Just enjoy the story for the fiction it is or just leave it and go. No one needs people to literally keep pointing out the obvious "problematic themes" in the story as though they weren't evident enough.
Some of y'all are really overreacting. The dad didn't take over the kid's body on purpose, it was an accident. He was panicked and desperate at the time, so he took advantage of the situation to protect his daughter. What else should he have done? Immediately get out of the kid's body because he didn't ask permission to use it? That's idiotic and would've resulted in his daughter getting sexually assaulted or worse. His mind was in fight or flight mode, so he reacted fast. Yes, he should talk with the kid and explain his situation, but the manhwa just started so we're just gonna have to wait and see. I also agree that he should've jumped in sooner to help the kid when he was getting beat up.
Dojin embarrassing/guilt-tripping Hyesung for being infatuated by omegas was a shitty thing to do. This chapter was off-putting to me.
It ain't really but ok
It's just my opinion, bro.
ya if this was a real relationship it would b toxic as fuck but it aint real so w/e ig lol
This was complete garbage. Zero plot, creepy rapist doctor, and lackluster art. Imma go head and drop it （￣へ￣）
This is straight out rude Im sure the author was hurt
Well, my eyes hurt after reading this abomination of a manhwa. In all seriousness though, I doubt the author would ever see my comment. If by some small chance they do see my comment, sorry I wasn't a fan.
you act like the author is reading these comments and what they said wasn’t wrong
Nah, I'm gonna post my opinion because I'm allowed too.
For those of you who are slow in the head, "tHen StOp ReAdiNg!" Isn't a valid argument. If you have nothing of value to respond to someone's criticism, just don't say anything at all instead of making yourself look like a dumbass.
i don’t say that I mean I do but barely.. if people are uncomfortable with the way they do things shouldn’t they just drop it?
yeah. they should drop it if they don't like the story but they keep spamming the comment section and trashing the fans who loves this manhwa and play victim like we don't allow them to critics though it was them who want us to follow what's on their mind and bashing fans. not sure what is their purpose, but for me if they hate it, just leave the story to the fans who enjoys it without trashing it. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
The problem is that every time someone criticizes the story in any way, some idiot takes that as "Oh. They must hate the entire thing. I'm just gonna tell them to read something else". It's fucking dumb. People don't realize that you can like or be interested in something while also being critical of it.
calling other people dumbass just because they have their own opinions is reflecting who we are. no need to belittle other people just because we think we was right. just saying. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ .
Also, I think people tell others to read something else simply because they don't like their opinion.
Sorry, but if your only response to someone with valid criticism is "then read something else", you are a dumbass.
She said valid criticism and calling us dumbass. How would she know if all she saying was valid argument?? Is she a lawyer or a psychologist? Don't fight. We will never win over someone who always think they are right. Your point won't be heard.
i'm not offending everyone. just because we have different pov doesn't mean we are dumbass. calling us dumbass just because they think they have valid point is kind of hurt. when you have a small argument, no need to belittle everyone just because youre pretty everything is right. isn't it?
Your grammar is making it difficult to understand what you're saying.
Awww cutie... I sometimes calling ppl dumbass too or fuck off when i get mad
Oh no need to understand since i'm not talking to you or even want you to understand tho.
But yet here you are posting in my comment thread. You seem pressed.
Lol. You're so funny. I don't even slightly care about you. I replied to the person who you're calling dumbass. You look like cyber bullying ngl
So as you have attacked other people for what they are commenting, including myself saying that I’m disgusting and that I love rape though you are basically saying that you can still love the story while it has rape in it?
Wow, I agree you have the right to be critical about it. That’s your freedom on here but let me say this....in no way, NO WAY, do you have the right to be critical about someone else’s opinion just as you are asking for yourself. So please, next time when you have an opinion or responding to someone else’s be respectful to them. Because you never know what you say might hurt someone and that’s your responsibility if you want to be “critical”. My aunt was raped. My mother was assaulted by her pastor leading to no one believing her, and I have dealt with harassment when I was a child and now. For you to say to me that I love rape, that I’m disgusting without knowing me personally just makes your “critical perspective” an attack.
Hope you’re happy. Have a great holiday
In this manhwa, a lot of people are uncomfortable with the seggs. because it’s too rough and looks like sexual assault (it isnt) but it looks like that. which would be an occurring problem. if they aren’t comfortable with an aspect of the story that will continue until the end why not just stop reading or skip those scenes?
I don't think I ever called you disgusting, but if the shoe fits... Also, I never said I loved this story so I have no idea what you are on about. I am respectful to those who I deem worthy of my respect. If you are trying to defend rape, fictional or not, don't expect an iota of respect from me.
I'm plenty happy, thanks.
If people want to stop reading a story, they can make that decision for themselves. They don't need someone condescending to them and telling them what to or what not to read.
I'm liking this story less and less with each update. This is turning into a stereotypical yaoi where the uke gets raped multiple times and it's just gross. I kinda want to keep reading to see where the story goes, but idk if I can tolerate the senseless rape bullshit. Also, all the bitches doing mental gymnastics trying to convince people that Tae Seung didn't just rape Soo Young when it's clear as day that he did, can kindly stfu. You look foolish.
If you think its gross then dont read it. Even tho the rape is getting a bit much tbh （￣へ￣）
PREACH!
Glad I'm not the only one who thought the new chapter was off-putting. The doctor just seems creepy af and rapey.
How could anyone say no to that face? ヾ(☆▽☆)
